“According to the current trend, I believe that in at most seven days, Master’s Soul Artifact will successfully reach the second stage!”
“Such an opportunity is really rare. If not for the fact that all the powerhouses in the Tiandou Province are looking for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, I think it would be very difficult for Master to have such an opportunity to occupy a city to upgrade his soul artifact.”
“As long as he can upgrade the Soul Artifact to the second stage, Master’s strength will definitely rise to another level!”
The conversation of these Blood Martial Realm martial artists echoed in Xiao Shi’s mind through the blood seal.
This made Xiao Shi clearly hear their conversation.
Xiao Shi focused on how they addressed him.
Master!
This made him realize that these Blood Martial Realm martial artists were not as he had imagined, where they were the subordinates of the expert who had occupied Bixin City. Instead, they were his servants!
The meaning behind subordinates and servants was completely different.
These powerhouses who occupied various cities in the Tiandou Province had subordinates, but it was rare for them to have servants, and they were even Blood Martial Realm servants. After all, no martial artist was willing to become someone else’s servant.
Especially a Blood Martial Realm servant!
Usually, existences who could have such servants must have some special and powerful methods. Just like Xiao Shi’s Lunar Seal. However, this method was extremely rare. Especially in the orthodox factions. Not many people knew about such enslavement methods. Often, there would be more people from demonic factions who grasped such methods.
This made Xiao Shi guess the identity of the person behind him.
“Could it be that the people occupying this city are… people from the demonic faction?!”
With the appearance of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, not only were there many experts from the orthodox factions of the Xingluo Territory, but there were also many experts from the demonic factions gathered in Tiandou Province.
The local demonic factions of the Tiandou Province also began to be active in the Tiandou Province. If it was under normal circumstances, when these people from the demonic factions dared to appear, they would definitely be eliminated by many orthodox factions.
But now that everyone was looking for the Heavenly Mystery Palace’s Palace Master, the entire Tiandou Province was in a mess. This gave these people from the demonic factions an opportunity.
They gradually became active in the Tiandou Province.
Of course, Xiao Shi was only speculating now. He could not be sure. Apart from the other party’s identity, Xiao Shi also knew the motive of the person behind them from their conversation.
Upgrading of Soul Artifact!
Although Xiao Shi did not know much about soul artifacts, he also knew that soul artifacts were powerful divine weapons that could only be used by those at the Martial Soul Realm.
The expert who occupied Bixin City now clearly wanted to improve his soul artifact through the array formation set up in Bixin City.
Xiao Shi did not know if the consequences of doing this would cause everyone in the city to die. However, he knew that this matter was definitely prohibited in the Tiandou Province. Otherwise, the other party would not have secretly carried it out.
Xiao Shi thought that even if these people in Bixin City did not die, there would definitely be a huge price to pay.
No matter what, he had to think of a way to stop it. After all, this concerned the entire Red Tiger Sect. Of course, he also knew that with his strength and cultivation, if he rashly attacked, he would definitely be throwing an egg at a rock.
He could only do it in secret. He could not be discovered.
He continued to hide in the dark and learned more information through the blood seal.
Two days later, Xiao Shi left blood seals on five Blood Martial Realm martial artists in a row. Although he had never seen the powerful existence who occupied Bixin City from the beginning to the end, through these five Blood Martial Realm martial artists, he already had a rough understanding of this powerful existence’s strength.
He knew that the other party was at the Martial Soul Realm.
Although these five Blood Martial Realm martial artists were all martial artists from orthodox factions, the Martial Soul Realm cultivator behind them was very likely a cultivator of the demonic faction.
“It’s a pity that the Blood Seal can’t control the bodies of these Blood Martial Realm martial artists. Otherwise, it can destroy the array formation in the city through these Blood Martial Realm martial artists.” Xiao Shi felt deeply regretful about this.
He began to think about how to destroy the array formation in the city.
The first thing he thought of was to contact Wu Muzhen through the Heavenly Mystery Palace and use the method he had used to escape from Zhongjiu City to get Wu Muzhen to settle everything.
However, after some thought, he did not want to use this method. If he frequently instructed Wu Muzhen to do things, it was inevitable that Wu Muzhen would have some guesses about his identity.
No matter how he hid it, no matter what kind of reason he used to get Wu Muzhen to do things, there would always be traces. If it was just one or two things, Wu Muzhen might not have thought of anything. However, once he did more things and connected all these things together, he might discover some clues.
The identity of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace could not be exposed no matter what. Even to a supporter like Wu Muzhen. If he knew his true identity, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have other thoughts.
No matter what, Xiao Shi had to be careful with his identity as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Unless there was really no other way. Otherwise, he would not have wanted Wu Muzhen to do things again so quickly.
Of course, if he wanted to break out of the situation, it was clearly not enough with his current strength. This array formation set up in Bixin City was very high-end. Its level had already far exceeded Xiao Shi’s current cultivation.
Even if he wanted to destroy it, he was not confident that he could do it..
